Before booking late
- Cancellation deadline: 24 hours before. A trip tomorrow morning must be cancelled today to be refunded.
- Pickup: the time is given the day before; some operators charge a supplement outside their zone.
- Weather: look at the sea and wind; trips may be moved or cancelled.
- Time: boat trips leave early (pickup often between 7:00 and 8:30).
If you like the sea
The Khai Islands are a half day: about 15 minutes by speedboat, beach and snorkelling, with boats that can be rough and crowded (25 to 45 people). For a full day, see the Phi Phi day trip or Racha and Coral. To end the day, a sunset cruise.
If the weather is uncertain
The city tour covers the old town, a temple and viewpoints in about six hours, with pickup according to the listing. As far as we know, one city-tour listing says the Big Buddha is closed for landscaping and seen from the side: check before booking. See also the Old Town, Wat Chalong and Phuket when it rains.
Other ideas without booking
- A beach and sunset at Promthep Cape.
- Some free activities.
- An evening of Muay Thai or a show.
